Sirach 31:26-28

Revised Standard Version

²⁶ Fire and water prove^[a] the temper of steel,
    so wine tests hearts in the strife of the proud.
²⁷ Wine is like life to men,
    if you drink it in moderation.
What is life to a man who is without wine?
    It has been created to make men glad.
²⁸ Wine drunk in season and temperately
    is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
